... for a peaceful blue Monday!

A Killdeer in flight is less about murder, more about misdirection.
Its name implies a violent deed,
Yet all it kills is time and speed.
Two female silhouettes walk along Mare de Déu de Montserrat Avenue, in Guinardó neighborhood of Barcelona, as if recreating a perfectly synchronized choreography.
One of the greatest and most appealing aspects of photography, is of course the ability to capture / freeze moments into imagery, to thus be able to now not just "tell" but "show" as well, this I think since the advent of photography by Thomas Wedgewood somewhere during the 1790s, even before one gets to the artistic elements of it, is the most motivating factor behind wanting to keep a camera around your neck and/or in your backpack wherever one goes.
Such as it is I was on the beach in Travemünde and the large passenger ferry, the Peter Pan (TT-Lines) was sailing in, momentarily surrounded by Yachts, that were all arching because of the wind direction, I found myself sat down in exactly the right spot at the right time, I originally only noticed the 2 Yachts in front, but when I reviewed the shot I saw the 3rd one at the back, so hence the title.
This is where I feel photography is really good fun. The shot itself has some mild heat distortion on the horizon but other than that, I think this dance off between the ship and these 3 smaller vessels is what I like about it.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you!
I forgot to bring something to feed the birds, its amazing to see against the blue sky dancing.
Have a wonderful Sunday and great week ahead.

In Halong Bay, day-tour boats, large cruise ships, sampans, and Vietnamese fishing boats come to and from ports, islands, caves, floating villages, and fishing grounds — all at once and in multiple directions. Cruises follow set paths assigned by the port authority and departures are staggered to help avoid congestion. It seems chaotic but every vessel follows key navigation rules to keep traffic flowing safely.
¡Otra vez, desde el principio! Y empezamos... ¡pata derecha arriba!
Once again, from the beginning! Let's start... right leg up!
With the exception of Hurricane Matthew, we've had very little rain in southeast Georgia. The weatherman has predicted significant rain for the middle of the week. I headed out to this spot near the Canoochee River today because I wanted to get some more shots of the tupelos before their roots are covered in water like they normally are. It was a cool morning with frost on the rooftops so I thought the mosquitos might be fewer in number also.
I'm always fascinated by this group of trees positioned like ballet dancers.
These two Black-necked stilts pranced together across the shallow water at the South Padre Island Birding Center. They always look so elegant and their posture and pose makes them even more so. We are not past the cold temperatures (for the RGV) with over nights still in the upper 30s F (4 C) but the days warm quickly in the sun.
Photographed from the top of the Burj Khalifa, this image looks down on a section of Dubai where high-rise buildings and highways come together. Seen from this height, towers, roads, and ramps form a dense and highly structured urban layout.
Rather than focusing on a single building, the photograph demonstrates how architecture and infrastructure relate to one another. Traffic flows, road patterns, and vertical structures become part of the same visual system, showing how movement is organised within the city.

At the same time. On the same rhythm. With the same movement, all of them start getting undressed, diving into winter. Meanwhile, we, bored humans, do the opposite: we get overdressed and hurry into our houses, leaving this magnificent spectacle to the wind, and the spirits of the woods, and some sleepless squirrel.
Storks are large, long-legged, long-necked wading birds with long stout bills, belonging to the family Ciconiidae. They occur in most of the warmer regions of the world and tend to live in drier habitats than the related herons, spoonbills and ibises; they also lack the powder down that those groups use to clean off fish slime. Storks have no syrinx (sound-producing vocal organ) and are mute, giving no bird call; bill-clattering is an important mode of stork communication at the nest. Many species are migratory. Most storks eat frogs, fish, insects, earthworms, and small birds or mammals. There are 19 species of storks in six genera.
Stork Lore
The fable that babies are brought by storks is mainly from Dutch and Northern German nursery stories, no doubt from the notion that storks nesting on one's roof meant good luck, often in the form of family happiness.
In some countries, it was believed that placing sweets in the window was a way to let the storks know that the family in the home was ready for a baby.
In ancient Greece, there was a law that demanded children take care of their parents in old age. The law was called “Pelargonia,” which is derived from the Greek word for storks—“pelargos.” Storks tend to care for their young long past when the young are able to fly and fend for themselves, which led to the belief that the young were looking after the old instead. It is yet another way in which storks and children are connected.
Seen as a symbol of good luck, storks had a tendency to nest on people’s roofs and chimneys and it was believed that storks on the roof would result in children for the couple living in the home.
March, the month in which many midsummer babies were born, was once considered a lucky time of the year to give birth.
Storks have a high tolerance for the presence of human beings and are not easily frightened by us.
